Sail the islands of French Polynesia

10 nights from £3,160 per person based on 2 sharing

Scattered across a vast stretch of the South Pacific, French Polynesia feels wonderfully remote, where emerald-green peaks rise from turquoise lagoons and life moves at a gentler pace. This small-ship voyage aboard Windstar Cruises takes you beyond Tahiti to the lesser-visited islands of the Tuamotu Archipelago, combining postcard-perfect scenery with opportunities to experience a side of Polynesia that larger ships rarely reach. With just a few hundred guests on board, this journey allows you to feel far more connected to each destination you visit.
  • The itinerary begins and ends in Papeete, but it's the islands in between that make this voyage so special. The Tuamotu Islands are renowned for their crystal-clear lagoons, coral reefs, and extraordinary marine life. One day might be spent snorkelling above colourful coral gardens, while another brings the chance to step ashore on a palm-fringed atoll where the pace of life feels completely unchanged by time.

  • French Polynesia is all about the water, and this voyage places you at the heart of it. Expect lagoon swims, beach visits, and the chance to encounter rays, tropical fish, and other marine life in some of the clearest waters on earth. The scenery is constantly changing, from volcanic peaks rising dramatically from the ocean to tiny coral islands surrounded by endless shades of blue.

  • Windstar's smaller ships are perfectly suited to this part of the world, allowing access to ports and anchorages that larger vessels simply cannot reach. The atmosphere on board is relaxed and informal, creating a much more immersive style of cruising, whether you're enjoying breakfast on deck as another island comes into view or watching the sunset over the South Pacific.

  • Meals are included throughout the voyage, served across a variety of dining venues, with open seating and ocean views never far away. Evenings often begin beneath star-filled skies on deck before another day of island exploration awaits. If you’re looking to experience French Polynesia beyond the usual resort stay, this voyage offers a wonderfully different perspective.
